    In the end my was what sent me back to Windows. I would try again in 2004 when my university lecturer handed out his customised core 2 based live CD that had all the utils we needed for the Unix admin class.

My memory is weak on this, but I believe certain Intel and Zyxel winmodems could be (crappy) analog telephone adapters for Asterisk.
